What do we actually measure ?

The AXON-School™ test measures Attention based indices that have been validated through a clinical trial and standardized to be used in a school setting. Attentiveness, Impulsivity and hyper-reactivity are indices that compare the examinee to other subjects of the same age and gender. The other indices that we present compare the examinee to his baseline performance.

COMPARATIVE MEASURES > >

ATTENTIVENESS

The ability of the child to correctly evaluate and respond to a stimulus

Level of attention

(Attentive vs. Inattentive) ability of the student to respond correctly to the target element and remain focused throughout the test. (measure of sustained attention).

Impulsiveness

The tendency of the child to react to the wrong target

Level of Impulsiveness

(Self-controlled vs. Impulsive) Measurement of responses to non-targets during the test.

Responsiveness

Excessive responses to the target element

Level of responsiveness

(Responsiveness regulated vs. over responsive) Measurement of the number of responses the student is making for each target.

The three indices above have been tested in a clinical trial of over 798 children, and were found to have an excellent sensitivity profile of 90% and Specificity of 86%.

Non-Comparative indices:

The AXON-School™ test makes use of several non-comparative indices related to the performance of the examinee throughout the test in relation to his base performance. This allows us to examine the impact of distractors and time on the student overall performance.

Visual Distractibility

a measure of the effect of visual distractions on performance.

Auditory Distractibility

a measure of the effect of auditory distractions on performance.

Distraction load

a measure of the effect of distraction load on performance.

Sustained attention

the effect of time on performance.
